Manman-ji, Buddhist temple near Mabashi Station, Japan.

Manman-ji is a Buddhist temple located just outside Mabashi Station that features two stone guardian statues at its entrance dating from the Kamakura period. The temple grounds contain traditional structures arranged in a way that creates a retreat from the surrounding urban environment.

The temple was founded in 1256 as Dainichi-ji and moved to its current location in 1537, marking two distinct phases of its existence. This relocation reflected the changing urban landscape and the community's evolving needs.

The temple functions as a living center of Buddhist practice where visitors can observe how the Rinzai school shapes daily worship and community gatherings. The way people move through the spaces and the regular ceremonies that take place reveal how this place remains central to local spiritual life.

The temple sits directly at the east exit of Mabashi Station, making it straightforward to visit when arriving by train. Its position near the station means you can easily include it in a day exploring the surrounding neighborhood.

The temple houses two nationally recognized statues through which visitors can walk to receive a blessing during special occasions throughout the year. This ritual practice draws both devotees and travelers seeking to participate in an age-old custom.
